I’ve always had a crush on the Spyderco Native line of pocket knives. I’ve also been a big fan of their lightweight models, so it was natural that I got the Native 5 Lightweight model in S110V the day it came out. Since a new version came out in blue/purple

HAP40 is hot. I just got my hands on a Spyderco HAP40 Dragonfly–the latest in the series– and I’m surprised I got one. So far the whole HAP40 series has sold out, but it seems like the Dragonfly has gone even faster than the Delica. If National Knives didn’t put

About halfway through Spyderco’s sprint runs of the HAP40 Japanese FRN models, it’s fair to say that HAP40 is hot. The HAP40 Endura was the first HAP40 knife I held in my hands, but for whatever reason, it’s taken me longer to get the photos ready. I also struggled with

Spyderco has some interesting designs and collaborations, such as this one with well known knife maker, Des Horn. Their Taichung models have a reputation for legendary fit and finish, though none of the Taichungs ever really called my name. Getting a Des Horn from Amazon on black Friday for $62

My quest for the perfect EDC pocket knife has taken me down many roads over the years, but I keep coming back to Spyderco. They make really good pocket knives–products made for work, not for looks. But over the years I’ve grown to love the looks as well, because to

They day Spyderco released its 2016 catalog, my eyes went straight to two things: the HAP40 Delica and the Mantra. The Mantra 2 looked cool, but it looks like about 100 other pocket knives, where the Mantra looks like a Delica made as a flipper with titanium scales and a
